In work we have just setup 3 monitors on a single machine. Why the big woop? Well untill i tried this, i was copnvinced that Eyefinity was the  best way to go for this, but even Eyefinity is not without its issues. It seems that unless you have a DVI, HDML and DisplayPort monitor, then you could run into issues!! http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/279498-15-displayport-adapter-eyefinity

However if you were just after simple multiple displays and you dont have multiple PCIe slots (think of most work PC’s here, not home PC’s) then the answer is multiple PCI cards

We used 2 8400GS cards, installed inthe first and second PCI slots. The Windows 7 driver didnt detect all the cards and the second card would not start. So i installed the latest nvidia drivers, and boom, they were both on, but my third monitor would not be detected. I have to hit the “Detect my  displays” for the third and fourth options to come available

And that was it, job done

The error is along the lines of
454 5.7.3 Client does not have permission…

The reason for this is if you disable Anonymous access in the Authentication area of your SMTP Connector. Why would you do this you ask? On my hunt to disable Relaying in Exchange 2003, i unchecked this. The problem is that anyone sending email to your exchange server is now stopped, as they wont authenticate against your server.

Disabling Relay is a matter of going to the Relay area, removing all items from the IP addresses, setting the radio button to “Only the list…” and check the bottom about authenticated computers

Do you want a quick test? Telnet in from an outside machine to your exchange server. Try to send an email to someone outside of the server from someone outside of the server, if it lets you, relaying is still enabled

This weekend im getting married. Ive very excited!!

My Winamp 5.5 was not publishing my tunes to Last.fm
